Multitasking in the kitchen is easier than ever with a top-of-the-line oven that you can hook up to your smartphone. From allowing you to remotely monitor your roast beef to powering off your oven using WiFi, smart appliances are the next wave of efficiency in the kitchen. Read on for 4 ways you can control your smart oven with remote touchscreen technology.
1. Preheat Your Oven
When it comes to roasting or baking, preheating your oven is often the first step—and one we easily forget. With certain GE models offering the ability to remotely preheat your appliance via a mobile app, you can stay in your station and continue chopping up your veggies without being thrown off your groove. Or on days you find yourself racing to get home to make dinner for the family, you can kickstart your cooking by preheating your oven while you’re on your way!
Some models also enable push notifications to your phone, thereby allowing you to monitor preheat cooking temperature progress.
2. Remotely Control Cooking Modes
Don’t lose your momentum in the kitchen. With KitchenAid smart ovens granting you the power to change cooking modes remotely, you no longer have to go back-and-forth from your oven to your prep station. A real timesaver, these smart ovens’ connectivity to WiFi allows you to go from the “Convect Bake” setting to the “Keep Warm” mode as soon as your timer goes off. Your melty mac-and-cheese will stay at serving temperature by the time the kids descend to the kitchen.
With additional features including tracking and setting kitchen timers, turning the oven off, controlling powered attachments, adjusting oven lights and enabling push notifications for when your oven’s self-cleaning cycle is complete, you’ll find that the world is truly at your fingertips.
3. Program Your Own Cooking Instructions
Normally, we would caution against going mad with power, but when it comes to customizing instructions in your oven’s programming, we say, rage on. From allowing you to set favorite cooking modes to saving go-to recipes, smart ovens prove to be a new frontier in personalizing your kitchen.
Certain KitchenAid models even offer the ability to annotate saved recipes via a mobile app! And with many of their smart ovens boasting full-color, high-resolution screen display, you can easily select among the system's many capabilities.
4. Sync Your Oven with Recipe Apps
Gone are the days you have to scurry from your mixing bowl to your recipe book, squinting to discern how many drops of vanilla extract should go in the batter—just consult your oven. In addition to being able to scroll through recipes on your oven’s touch screen, you can also follow step-by-step video tutorials, so you rarely have to pause what you’re doing to refer to written instructions.
